HINGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 602,846, dated April 26, 1898.

Application filed May 29, 1897. Serial No. 638,807. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HORACE D. GRANGER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Avon, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Hinges, of which the followingis a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, Wherein Figure l is a face or fiatwise View of ahinge embodying said improvement. Fig. 2 is an edge view of the same hinge which is shown in Fig. 1.

The object of the improvement is the production of a hinge susceptible of being made of pieces or sections of round wire, .having features of novelty hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings the letter A denotes one hinge-half as a whole, and the letter B denotes the other hinge-half as a whole.

The letter 0 denotes the hinge-pin.

Each of the hinge-halves is composed of a single piece of round wire formed into a figure of the desired and efficient shape. In the hinge-half A the letter a denotes the sides of this figure,practically the skeleton of a hingeleaf. This same piece of wire is twisted into coils a, completely encircling the hinge-pin, after which it is formed into the skeleton of a second leaf a extending in the same general direction (a slight extension answers the purpose to a degree) as the larger leaf and contained within the same. In like fashion the letter b denotes the sides of the skeleton leaf in the hinge-half B. 1) denotes the formation thereof into coils encircling the hingepin, and b denotes the formation thereof into the secondary leaf extending outward within the larger leaf.

The letters (1 denote staples for fastening this sort of hinge into place for use.

I claim as my improvement-- The combination of the hinge-pin with the two hinge-halves each made of a single piece of round wire extended into a leaf, twisted into coils completely encircling said pin and also formed into a second leaf within said first-mentioned leaf and extending in the same general direction therewith, all substantially as described and for the purposes set forth.

HORACE D. GRANGER.
